Basic code editors like Sublime and Atom are great for web development. They have nice linting plugins, snippet resources and are easy to get up and running. As another poster mentioned, other editors are much more powerful and can make you very productive. I use vim and nano to do simple edits, in SSH (emacs can be used as well).

However, you really need to assess what you are doing. If you are a webdev sublime and atom are great. You can use an IDE like rubymine if you want more language centric features. If you are doing compiled stuff (not my area), it probably makes sense to learn VIM or Emacs because you can fly through your coding and have access to the compiler and all of your files quickly from one place.
